Just One Place

Land Der Träume

Emily Coy is an absolute powerhouse! She wrote the lyrics, and recorded all of those amazing layered vocal harmonies. I wrote and recorded everything else (the drums are built out of midi loops I adapted. And I did reshuffle and retime Emily's parts a bit to create this song structure). Weaving guitar lines around Emily's vocals is truly a joy.

I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Photo Op

The Sanctuary

An attempt to interpret a feeling experienced in a certain place.  To carry that feeling home to my studio and capture it.  
Sindy (my dog) told me (in woofs) I am actually experiencing pure joy, of which she is apparently an aficionado.  I was then told to "snap out of it throw the damn ball you soppy human."

Praa Sands

Campers  

My parents were campers, we wandered around
We washed in the river and slept on the ground
With a kerosine lantern to see by at night 
And aluminum cups full of Crystal Delight

They’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it was not about nothing
It was more than a signature style

I gave him a hundred, which was all that I got
I fired her up and I drove off the lot
She was painted by hand, but tipping the scales
Was a sticker that showed my concern for the whales

She’s all gone forever after only awhile
To me she was not about nothing
She was more than a signature style

My mind is in order my soul is inspired
In robe and in sandals I’m simply attired
And I live in this place with these brothers of mine
Where we think, and we pray, and we fast all the time

Till we’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it is not about nothing
It’s more than a signature style

あの日の約束を覚えているかしら？
私は今でも忘れないでいるわ・・
そんな雰囲気の曲です。
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
再びボーカロイドです！
いくつか楽器を入れましたが、いつものように音のバランスに四苦八苦しました(^^;)

Do you remember the promise you made that day?
I still remember...
This song has such an atmosphere.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Vocaloid again!
I put in some instruments, but as usual I struggled with the sound balance (^^;)

■歌詞
「あの日の約束」
忘れられた　花のように
季節の中　生きているわ
多分　あなたはすれ違っても
気が付かないわ

木枯らしの吹く　こんな日は　特に

夢の中で　ソリに乗って　あなたの家に
窓をノック　久しぶりに　乾杯しましょう

大きくなった　あなたを見て
嬉しい気持ちになった

待ちわびてた
あなたの顔を見たかった
今のあなたに贈るプレゼント

それは　忘れていた
小さな約束よ　あなたが昔　願ったこと

「大人になったら　夜空を飛べるようになって　
　僕が一緒にさ　プレゼント　配ってあげる」と言った優しい子


あなたにとって　長い旅の
終着点は　まだ先よ

多分　あなたは　信じようとはしないでしょうね
だけど　すぐに分かるはずよ　おいで

夢の中も　現実でも　どっちでもいいの
ソリに乗って出かけましょう　夜空を飛ぶのよ

トナカイさん：ちょいとお待ちなさいな、おじょうさん
おじょうさん：なにかしら？トナカイさん

トナカイさん：あたしゃまだ寝ていたい　だめかいな？
おじょうさん：悪いけど・・ダメ(^0^)b


街は　ゆりかごなの　あなたのお家の屋根があんなに小さく見える
子供たちは今　夢の中で私たちを待っている
一緒にね　行きましょう　決して覚める事のない夢の中

おじょうさん & トナカイさん：さあ、手を取って

■ lyrics
"The Promise of That Day"
Like a forgotten flower
I'm alive in the season
Maybe you pass me by
you won't notice

Especially on a day like this when the wind blows

In my dreams I ride a sleigh to your house
Knock on the window Let's have a toast after a long time

Look at you who grew up
I feel happy

I've been waiting
i wanted to see your face
gift for you today

That's a small promise you forgot, that's what you wished for long ago

"When you grow up, you'll be able to fly in the night sky, and I'll help you distribute presents with you," said a gentle child.

It's a long journey for you
The end point is still far away

maybe you won't believe
But you should be able to find out soon Come on

Whether it's in a dream or in reality, it doesn't matter
Let's go out on a sled, we'll fly in the night sky

Mr. Reindeer: Wait a minute, dear
Girl: What is it? reindeer

Mr. Reindeer: I still want to sleep Is it no good?
Girl: I'm sorry, but no (^0^)b


The city is a cradle Your roof looks so small
The children are now waiting for us in their dreams
Let's go together, in a dream that never wakes up

Girl & Mr. Reindeer: Come on, take my hand

Anohi_No_Yakusoku(the promise of that day)

A tune from the WAG guys, reflecting the idea that love is, perhaps, the distillation and essence of what humanity is all about, Christmas, or other. Love finds a way, always. Let's not give up. Regardless of your traditions and cultural expressions of religious beliefs, love makes it all possible...if we want/will it.

Lyrics:

Everlasting

The greater the suffering … the greater the peace
The longer you have to wait … the greater the weight

Love everlasting …

I see the blood of roses … out in the fields
Love everlasting

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Voulez…voulez…voulez…voulez…away

Love everlasting …

Voulez…voulez…voulez…voulez…away

All you need is the imagination to believe.

disfrutando bajo el sol

Dear friends, our summer is coming soon!
My little Granddaughter inspired me - she claims that new babies are miracles!!

Approximate translation into English 

Summer in Sweden

When our summer it comes here - to our country
to our town - then all the children want to go out
but what are they going to do there - they are running around
and they climb trees - and when the evening comes they fall asleep so sweetly
But when the sun wakes up again, the little miracles come out

But something is happening now - very sad
everything gets wet - but the children don't care
but it might be fun for them - something new is happening
They scratch each other - and when the evening comes they fall asleep so sweetly
But when the sun wakes up again, the little miracles come out

Has anyone cycled in the rain - great fun
lovely splash - but what do they say when kids get home
it may not be easy - to explain to them
why everything is so dirty - but when the evening comes the children fall asleep so sweetly
But when the sun wakes up again, the little miracles come out

In Swedish
Sommar i Sverige

När vår sommar den kommer hit - till vårt land
till vår stad - då vill alla barnen ut
men vad ska dom göra där - de skuttar runt
och dom klättrar i träd - o när kvällen kommer de somnar så sött
Men när solen åter vaknar då kommer de små miraklerna fram

Men det är nåt som händer nu - jätte trist
allt blir blött - men det struntar barnen i
men det kanske blir kul för dom - det händer nåt nytt
De kladdar på varann - o när kvällen kommer de somnar så sött
Men när solen åter vaknar då kommer de små miraklerna fram

Är det någon som har cyklat i regn - jättekul
härligt stänk - men vad säger dom när man kommer hem
det blir kanske inte lätt - att förklara för dom
varför allting är så skitt - men när kvällen kommer barnen somnar så sött
Men när solen åter vaknar då kommer de små miraklerna fram

Ich spiele und experimentiere gerne mit Klängen. Dabei bin ich nicht auf ein spezifischen Genre festgelegt. Solange es gut klingt, spielt es keine Rolle für mich in welche Kategorie der track nun eingeordnet werden kann.
